Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 968 Despicable Act
The next day, Liu Yunxiang and Xue Changfeng met again and carefully summed up tonight's plan.

In the afternoon, Liu Yunxiang wrote a letter and asked Zijin to secretly deliver it to Suping Prince's Mansion.Based on the handwriting on the letter, I believe Lu Changan could recognize her at a glance, and she asked him to meet in front of the Confucian Temple in Xicheng.

The city gate was in the east, and she asked him to be in the west. What they had to do was to take advantage of Lu Changan's absence to quickly enter the Suping Palace, take Mrs. Xiao and her son out, and then go straight to the city gate.

"This time must be set correctly, and there must be no delay." Liu Yunxiang said to Xue Changfeng.

Xue Changfeng nodded, "Don't worry, I have made arrangements here."

When Xue Changfeng was about to leave, Liu Yunxiang suddenly thought of something, "If you do this, you will be exposed. Lu Changan will not let you go, so you have to go to Zhenbei with us."

"I can't go directly to Zhenbei." Xue Changfeng thought for a while and said.

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "You want to see Aunt Zhou, right?"

Xue Changfeng shrugged, "I have to ask her if she is willing to go to Zhenbei with me."

"You know the answer, she doesn't want to."

"I go to see her every other month and ask her if she wants to go home, but she refuses me and even starts to feel annoyed with me now. This is the last time. If she doesn't want to, our fate in this life will be over. That’s it.”

Seeing Xue Changfeng's confused look, Liu Yunxiang felt helpless.

"Aunt Zhou loves you," she said.

Xue Changfeng curled his lips, "I believed this before, but now, I don't believe it."

"You could feel her love before because she still expected you to fall in love with her, but now she just doesn't expect it. As time goes by, the love will become shallower."

"I..." Xue Changfeng was a little embarrassed, "I have been single all these years. I have never taken a wife or concubine, and I have never met other women. She still can't understand?"

"You have to say it!"

"I promised that Ming Media is marrying me, and only her."

"Look at your attitude when you say this. If I were Aunt Zhou, I wouldn't agree to it either."

"What's my attitude?"

"You should be grateful to me for being able to do this because of my status. You don't care about your background. If you don't agree, you don't know how to flatter me."

Xue Changfeng's eyes widened, "How can I have such an attitude!"

"You are."

Seeing Xue Changfeng about to refute, Liu Yunxiang smiled, "If not, you should reflect on it and think about what kind of attitude you should use to meet Aunt Zhou. You also said that this may be your last chance. You don't want to miss her."

Xue Changfeng scratched his head, probably still confused, and left with a distressed look on his face.

Liu Yunxiang smiled and shook her head. She had met Aunt Zhou several times, and she was a rare sober woman.

Zi Jin went to deliver the letter, but after a while, she ran back.

"Girl, the Wu family placed Wu Qianqian's body in front of Prince Suping's Mansion. About thirty people were kneeling there in mourning clothes and crying. There were many people around."

Liu Yunxiang frowned, "Why is this?"

"It is said that Wu Qianqian went to Yingyuexuan last night, probably because she wanted to plead for her father, but she hit a pillar and died. The body was thrown in front of the Wu family. When the Wu family found out, Mrs. Wu passed out immediately , the Wu family wanted to seek justice, so they came here to do this."

Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath. Wu Min was in prison now. The Wu family had no backbone. After something like this happened again, they could only seek justice through this action.

But, how could they be Lu Changan's opponents.

"Where's the letter?" Liu Yunxiang asked.

"I'm afraid things will change, so I haven't sent it out yet." Liu Yunxiang nodded, and there must be no mistakes tonight.If the Wu family stayed in front of Prince Suping's Mansion, then their action would have to be canceled first, but Mrs. Xiao was still ill and could not afford to wait.

Liu Yunxiang rubbed his forehead and said, "Let's go check the situation first."

When they arrived outside Prince Suping's Mansion, there were indeed many people gathered around. Liu Yunxiang followed Zijin and squeezed to the front.

There was a coffin in front of the palace with no lid, and Wu Qianqian's body was inside.The Wu family, about thirty people in mourning clothes, were kneeling in front.

The leader was a woman. Everyone else was crying, but she straightened her back, as if she was standing there like a needle in the sea, but her hair was white and her face was desolate.

This woman is Mrs. Wu, who is only in her forties. When she met her just over a year ago, she had black hair and a gentle and gentle smile on her face, without any hint of old age.

"What does the Wu family mean by placing their daughter's body in front of the palace?"

There were people talking nearby.

"Wu Qianqian committed suicide by hitting a pillar at Yingyuexuan last night. I heard that King Suping was there at the time." Another person said.

"How could a young lady go to a place like that?"

"Perhaps she wanted to plead with King Suping to save her father, and..." the man lowered his voice a little more, "There were many officials present at the time."

"Didn't the imperial court prohibit officials from having sex with prostitutes?"

"Oh, where is King Suping? Who dares to care?"

"That's right." The man held it in for a moment and then said, "I'm afraid this Wu girl's death was not innocent."

"So the Wu family can't swallow this breath."

The door of Prince Suping's Mansion, which had always been closed, slowly opened and Lu Changan walked out.As soon as he appeared, the place suddenly became quiet, and only the crying of the Wu family could be heard.

Lu Changan looked unhappy. He first glanced at Wu Qianqian who was lying in the coffin, then walked to the steps, looked at Madam Wu and asked, "Madam, what do you mean?"

Mrs. Wu raised her head, a ball of anger suddenly ignited in her eyes, but she tried her best to suppress it: "My master is in prison now, and we are the only old, weak, women and children left at home. We are really desperate and we made this move. Please first ask the prince to spare one of us." A crime of respect.”

Lu Changan narrowed his eyes, "Mrs. Wu, please speak clearly."

"I just want to ask the prince." Mrs. Wu stared at Lu Changan closely, "What happened last night? My daughter Qianqian, why did she hit the pillar?"

"Mrs. Wu can ask the people in Yingyuexuan, or the other people present last night, why are you asking this king alone?"

"I don't believe what they say."

"Do you believe what I say?"

"letter."

Mrs. Wu smiled bitterly, "About five or six years ago, my master told me that it was a pity for Prince Suping. He is a man with a heart as clear as the bright moon."

Hearing this, Lu Changan's face suddenly turned green.

"Although people will change, King Suping has an excellent reputation among the people. I guess it has not changed, so I came to ask the prince."

This may sound fine to others, but to Lu Changan, it is tantamount to stripping his face.

He stared at Madam Wu for a long time, then took a deep breath and said, "Miss Wu has passed away. It is really a pity. I can understand Madam's mood, but Madam should think more about the living people."

Mrs. Wu frowned, "What do you mean, Your Majesty?"

"Master Wu has committed rape and murder, and according to law, he must be whipped." Lu Changan twitched the corner of his mouth, "Mrs. Wu, how many whips do you think he can receive?"
